Standing where he was, Chen Heng looked ahead.

There was a huge stream of people and luxury cars everywhere.

It was the same for the people standing here. If one looked carefully, they would find that their clothes were basically branded. They were basically either rich or noble.

Chen Heng was a little interested and observed for a while. After a while, he took a step forward and continued walking.

There were originally many people around him, but they all stepped back and made way for him after he walked forward. Many gazes of reverence fell on him.

"It seems that the status of a Beastmaster in this world is indeed very high..."

Walking on the road, Chen Heng felt the people's gazes around him. At this moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He could see some of the situation in this world from some things.

According to the memories of his previous self, those who could stay around here were basically not commoners. Most of them were from prestigious families.

Even if they were real commoners, after they entered Dragon City Academy, there would still be many people who would come forward to sponsor them. There was no need to worry at all.

In this world, entering an academy like Dragon City Academy was proof of one's ability and a possibility for the future.

If one even possessed the talent of a Beastmaster, then it was almost certain that he would be able to soar to the skies in the future and become one of the best. With such a transcendent status, there would naturally be people who would act early and invest in him.

As he walked on the road, Chen Heng slowly walked forward. His speed was not too fast, but he quickly left this area and walked out after walking for a while.

Soon, he left this place and came to the street outside. Then, he casually stopped a taxi and left this place.

A moment later, he arrived at a small district outside. Compared to the place before, the street before him was considered very desolate.

The surroundings looked very old, and so were the various facilities. It seemed a little neglected. It was a world of difference compared to the brand new street before.

However, according to the memories that Chen Heng had obtained, this was the home of his predecessor. His predecessor didn't seem to come from a good background.

If he didn't have the talent of a Beastmaster, he might not be able to turn things around for the rest of his life.

He walked in from the outside, and a moment later, Chen Heng returned to his own home.

"You're back?"

He walked to the front door, and before he could knock, the front door opened automatically.

Among them, the figure of a young girl was revealed.

The young girl didn't look old. She was wearing a black shirt and looked pretty. She stood in front of the door and looked at Chen Heng nervously. "Brother, lunch is ready."

"Mom and Dad are waiting for you inside."

"I know."

Looking at the young girl in front of him, Chen Heng nodded. In front of him, the girl looked a little nervous.

If one looked carefully, one could see that the girl's face was a little pale, and there were some beads of sweat on her body as if she had just done something.

"What are you doing?"

Walking into the hall, he looked at the girl in front of him and asked casually.

"Why are you so tired?"

His attitude seemed a little cold, but he still asked.

The reason why he looked like this was not that Chen Heng wanted it to be like this. It was just that according to the memories of his previous self, in the past, his previous self treated his family like this.

It was often even worse than what Chen Heng was showing now.

After saying those simple words, the girl seemed to be a little nervous in front of her. She quickly said, "I heard that you are coming back, so mom asked me to clean the house with her."

"And I just cleaned your room. If you want, you can move in at any time..."

"That's unnecessary." Chen Heng shook his head and said, "I will only stay for one or two days when I come back. I won't stay for too long."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble."

He said softly, his face still calm.

Walking in front of him, the girl secretly sighed in relief when she saw Chen Heng's attitude.

Compared to normal family members, Chen Heng's attitude at this moment seemed a little cold. But compared to the past, he was much better.

'It looks like Big Brother has changed a lot too...' This thought silently flashed through the girl's mind.

The girl in front of her was called Lu Yao, the younger sister of Chen Heng's body.

Of course, even though they were brother and sister, according to Chen Heng's memories, the relationship between the two did not seem to be very good in the past.

At least to his predecessor, this sister didn't seem to carry much weight.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng carefully experienced the feeling of his predecessor. Suddenly, he was a little speechless. At that moment, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his predecessor.

At least from his memories, there didn't seem to be anyone around who had a good relationship with his predecessor. Even his own family members looked like this. It was easy to imagine what the situation would be like for others.

Then, he continued to walk forward. In the kitchen, two figures were still busy serving dishes. When they saw Chen Heng, they quickly walked out.

"You're back."

"Are you tired from the journey? Do you want to rest before eating?"

They looked at Chen Heng and quickly asked.

Chen Heng did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the two people in front of him seemed to be a little nervous. There was even a hint of fear.

Even his biological parents were like this?

Chen Heng was speechless. At this moment, he did not know what to say.

How bad was the personality of his predecessor to be able to make the people around him look like this?

Of course, if he looked like this, there were some merits. At least he could save Chen Heng some effort and not waste too much time on these things.

Similarly, it was not easy to expose anything. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, he only nodded and said, "There's no need...

"Let's just eat..."

He looked at Lu Yao in front of him and said.

Even though it was well hidden, from the way Lu Yao looked at the dining table from time to time, it could be seen that she was probably hungry.

Thus, the four of them quickly sat down and ate together. Of course, even though it was a family dinner, the situation before them did not look like a family dinner.

However, from Chen Heng's point of view, this meal was very tense. The atmosphere around them was very solemn, and it did not have the relaxed feeling of a normal family.

Chen Heng shook his head secretly. "Why are there so many dishes today?" Sitting in his seat, he looked at the dining table in front of him and said.

There were many dishes on the dining table in front of him. Even if he didn't count them in detail, there were almost ten dishes at a glance.

Moreover, most of them were good dishes, and some were quite expensive.

"I heard you're coming back, so I prepared more."

Chen Heng's mother said, "While you're still growing, you have to eat more."

"It's a bit of a waste." Chen Heng said softly but didn't say much.

"Erm..." His mother looked at Chen Heng, then said nervously, "Are you doing well in the academy?"

"Your father and I found some friends outside and gave you another 100,000 dollars. Do you want to take it?"

She looked at Chen Heng and said with a nervous voice.

Chen Heng paused.

"You went to borrow money?"

He looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

According to his previous understanding of the situation, the family's financial condition was not too good.

Although it was not too poor, it was definitely not close to being rich. In this world, the amount of 100,000 dollars would definitely cause a family to go bankrupt.

Then, Chen Heng could not help but be even more speechless. In the past, similar situations had already happened many times. Regardless of what era it was, learning required money.

In the past, to support his predecessor's studies, the parents had already pooled money to give to the former multiple times.

However, the former did not show any reaction to this. He just kept taking it and then casually spending it.

This kind of performance, even in Chen Heng's opinion, was absolutely unconscionable.

"There's no need..."

Sitting in his seat, Chen Heng silently shook his head, then said, "The academy has enough subsidies, enough for me to study.

"Take this money back."

He looked at the two people in front of him, his face calm, and said indifferently.

"But..."

Hearing Chen Heng's words, the two people's faces seemed to be a little hesitant.
